Performance tab

On the Performance tab, you can set the following limitations on the XProtect Mobile server's performance:

Settings

Name	Description
Enable full-size images	Enable the XProtect Mobile server to send full-size images to the XProtect Mobile client or XProtect Web Client. Enabling full-size images uses more bandwidth. Additionally, enabling this option disables all rules that are set up in the Levels of video stream limitations settings described below.
Limit playback streams	If enabled, it specifies the maximum number of video streams in the investigation mode in XProtect Web Client.

Enable full-size images

Enable the XProtect Mobile server to send full-size images to the XProtect Mobile client or XProtect Web Client.

Enabling full-size images uses more bandwidth. Additionally, enabling this option disables all rules that are set up in the Levels of video stream limitations settings described below.

Limit playback streams

If enabled, it specifies the maximum number of video streams in the investigation mode in XProtect Web Client.

Levels of video stream limitations

Level 1

Level 1 is the default limitation placed on the XProtect Mobile server. Unless you have enabled sending full-size images above, any limitations that you set here are always applied to the XProtect Mobile video stream.

Name	Description
Level 1	Select the check box to enable the first level of limitations to XProtect Mobile server performance.
Max FPS	Set a limit for the maximum number of frames per second (FPS) to send from the XProtect Mobile server to clients.
Max image resolution	Set a limit for the image resolution to send from the XProtect Mobile server to clients.

Level 2

If you want to enforce a different level of limitations than the default one in Level 1,select the Level 2 check box. You cannot set any settings higher than what you have set them to on the first level. If you, for example, set the Max FPS to 45 on Level 1, you can set the Max FPS on Level 2 only to 44 or less.

Name	Description
Level 2	Select the check box to enable the second level of limitations to XProtect Mobile server performance.
CPU threshold	Set a threshold for the CPU load on the XProtect Mobile server before the system enforces video stream limitations.
Bandwidth threshold	Set a threshold for bandwidth load on the XProtect Mobile server before the system enforces video stream limitations.
Max FPS	Set a limit for the maximum number of frames per second (FPS) to send from the XProtect Mobile server to clients.
Max image resolution	Set a limit for the image resolution to send from the XProtect Mobile server to clients.

Level 3

You can also select a Level 3 check box to create a third level for limitations. You cannot set any settings higher than what you have set them to on Level 1 and Level 2. If you, for example, set the Max FPS to 45 on Level 1 and to level 32 on Level 2, you can set the Max FPS on Level 3 only to 31 or less.

Name	Description
Level 3	Select the check box to enable the third level of limitations to XProtect Mobile server performance.
CPU threshold	Set a threshold for the CPU load on the XProtect Mobile server before the system enforces video stream limitations.
Bandwidth threshold	Set a threshold for bandwidth load on the XProtect Mobile server before the system enforces video stream limitations.
Max FPS	Set a limit for the frames per second (FPS) to send from the XProtect Mobile server to clients.
Max image resolution	Set a limit for the image resolution to send from the XProtect Mobile server to clients.

Note: The system does not instantly switch from one level to another level. If your CPU or bandwidth threshold goes less than five percent above or below the indicated levels, the current level stays in use.

If you enable Enable full-size images, none of the Performance levels are applied.
